The average shot length of 7 famous directors

The average shot length (ASL) of a director is an interesting way to compare filmmaking styles.

Below are two charts from Vashi Nedomansky’s filmmaking blog (http://vashivisuals.com/blog/). The first compares the ASL of six famous directors. The second compares the ASL of eight Stanley Kubrick movies. Kubrick’s ASL (based on those 8 movies) is 11.3 seconds.
